How I did it

How to go back to martial arts

It took me

1 month

It made me

happy inside

How I did it: I just grabbed a water bottle and changed into my uniform and went to the workout. It sucked because I didn't remember a single form, but it felt really good to be back. Read how I did it…

Learn American Sign Language and have a conversation in it.

Untitled 5 months ago

Today I was getting my hair cut and there was a Deaf family at the hair salon as well. The good ol’ ASL University has taught me well and I didn’t stare (though I will admit to glancing two of the kids having a conversation in ASL out of the corner of my eye while waiting for my sister to finish getting her hair blowdried.) I’ve only learned a handful of words… like, thirty, and only about fifteen of which I remember, so I felt really shy about saying anything, but I finally got the courage to compliment one girl on her newly-curled hair. It was pretty halting-~~and I don’t know the sign for hair, so I just touched my own hair~~-but she thanked me, so I guess I did okay. Hope I didn’t come of as a stalker.

Read the Bible cover-to-cover (and learn the books in order)

Untitled 6 months ago

I’m halfway there, I guess. I’m in the middle of Lamentations right now, and I’ve been reading at least a chapter a night for… wow, probably a year. The New Testament will go much faster, though.

I can list the books of the New Testament, and the Old Testament up to Proverbs, which means it’s only the weird Hebrew prophet names that I’ll have to memorize now.

go back to martial arts

Untitled 6 months ago

I used to do tae kwon do twice a week, but I haven’t gone in a over a year. I got my first dan black belt and everything. Unfortunately, a combination of laziness and other obligations have kept me from going back. Maybe I’ll try Bagua this time. Bagua is really cool.
